Overview of the Cisco SPA 504G

The Cisco SPA504G is a full-featured VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone that provides

voice communication over an IP network. The phone provide traditional features, such as call

forwarding, redialing, speed dialing, transferring calls, conference calling and accessing voice

mail. Calls can be made or received with a handset, headset or over a speaker.

IP phones also have special features not available in traditional phones. The Cisco SPA504G

containsan Ethernet port, or a port that allows them to be linked to the computer network.

They also have an additional Ethernet port that allows a computer to be connected to the

network through the IP phone.

Unlike traditional phones, Cisco Small Business Pro IP phones require a separate power

source. You can power the phones by connecting them to a switch that provides Power over

Ethernet (PoE), or by using an optional PA100 power adapter.

The Cisco SPA 504G has the following features:

• 128 X 64 monochrome LCD with backlight

• 4 lines

• 4 dynamic softkeys

• 4-way navigation button
